Pressure issues related to the Solenoid i think

Hi guys, need a little help! I installed my own irrigation system a few years back, and I have been battling an issue with no resolution so far. That little black solenoid on the valve leaks from the base (threaded portion) all the time, enough that it floods the area around it. When I tighten it down, it stops leaking, but then I get almost no pressure out the heads of those sprinklers when they come on! I have tried cleaning it out and even went back and forth with the company via email with no help. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Valves are Orbit - Watermaster, model #57224
